Font smoothing is a technology which is used by most web browsers (including Apple Safari for Windows and Mac) to enhance the legibility of the text appearing inside the web page. Font smoothing actually makes the fonts look crisper and smoother on the screen. It basically removes any crippling effects or discontinuous/broken text. Blurriness is also removed via font smoothing. Most of the Web browsers automatically handle the font smoothing, but Apple Safari takes it one step ahead by allowing its users to customise the font smoothing settings according to their needs and preferences.

Depending on your monitor type, you can select among four font smoothing options, standard, light, medium and strong. By default the Safari sets the font smoothing to standard if you are using a CRT monitor. If you have a flat panel monitor then Safari chooses medium font smoothing settings. However, if you still find it too difficult to read the text then you can choose strong font smoothing. Just go to the Edit menu and select preferences. In the pop-up window select the Appearance tab and there you can find the font smoothing options.
